+Naming and Valid Characters

+1. Node and property names are allowed to use only:

+   * digits: [0-9]
+   * dash: -
+
+2. Labels are allowed to use only:
+
+   * lowercase characters: [a-z]
+   * digits: [0-9]
+   * underscore: _
+
+3. Unit addresses should use lowercase hex, without leading zeros (padding).
+
+4. Hex values in properties, e.g. "reg", should use lowercase hex.  The address
+   part can be padded with leading zeros.

Hi Krzysztof

What i like about the Linux Coding Style is that most sections have a
Rationale. I like the way it explains the 'Why?'. It makes it feel
less arbitrary. When it does not seem arbitrary, but reasoned, i find
it easier to follow.

Could you add rationale like the Coding Style?

+1 on this.

Thanks,
Michal
